Marrakech
This private all-inclusive tour is ideal for travelers who are adamant not to leave Morocco without seeing the Sahara or who decide to include a stay in the desert at the last minute. It provides a fast-paced two-day journey via the High Atlas Mountains and, perhaps, a once-in-a-lifetime road drive through the Kasbahs en route to the Desert.
Our ‘Saharan Dune Express’ provides a jam-packed two-day road excursion to the Saharan south, as well as brief glimpses into traditional rural culture and lives of local populations in the highlands, oases, and Desert region. You’ll see distinct landscapes that change virtually every hour, so there’ll be no question of ‘Are we there yet?’
However, we believe that a two-day tour covering such vast distances does not adequately represent the unique sites and experiences on offer; you will find the journey to be long and exhausting; however, we feel obligated to offer the tour due to its popularity. We understand the strong desire to visit the Moroccan Sahara and ride a camel in the desert and at Desert Safari. Camp despite time restraints.
To maximize our experience in a short amount of time, we have always chosen to visit the Erg Lihoudi dune complexes, which are located just outside of Zagora. The Zagora Desert area, which is normally available to guests, is not worth a visit and overnight stay in our opinion.
On this thoughtful Saharan vacation, you’ll find atmospheric camps, fun and adventure, and a voyage into spectacular landscapes and lives unlike any other.
